Healthcare

Healthcare should be available to everyone and the costs should be controlled. The insurance companies are taking up to 38% of every dollar before spending a cent on healthcare. This needs to stop.

We need to take the funds from the federal government to expand Medicare to 70,000 Mainers. This will save us all money since uninsured folks won’t have to go to the ER when they get sick. We all have to pay for these overinflated costs that folks can’t afford to pay.

We need to rein in the greed of the drug companies that are sucking the life out of our people and our institutions. There is no money left for basics when so much is required just to buy a prescription.
